If the area of freedom, security and justice is to be established, it is crucial that fundamental rights be defended and promoted.
It is necessary to avoid having a large number of agencies overlapping functions and creating more work. This new agency will only be worthwhile if it can make up the shortfall in data collection mechanisms and if it can keep track of trends and processes that have not worked in the Member States. Otherwise, it is difficult to gauge the true extent of the challenge and to assess the effectiveness of Community legislation in these areas.
Existing agencies must be absorbed (such as the European Monitoring Centre on Racism and Xenophobia, whose functioning has left much to be desired).
It will be the job of this agency to issue opinions and recommendations and not to interfere in the work of the institutions responsible for decision-making.
Unwanted conflict with similar organs, such as the European Council High Commission for Human Rights, should also be avoided.
I also welcome the fact that President Barroso has set up a group of Commissioners on Fundamental Rights, Anti-Discrimination and Equal Treatment, to establish a comprehensive and coherent strategy for protecting human rights."@en1
